Dear experts,

I believe my question is not that difficult but I do not have much knowledge regarding this. I tried reading the step by step guide but still no help. Long story short, I accidentally deleted the partition during windows 7 install process. I did not format it after I realized I deleted in error. This is a Seagate 3tb drive that I stored all misc. files. I have another 480SSD drive that is for the operating system. I am currently using windows 7. I installed testdisk 7.0 and ran it immediately.

1.PNG is the first screen. I then selected [Intel]->[Analyse]. 2.PNG showed up and I have no idea what's going on.

But I continue to click [Quick Search] to arrive at 3.png

The search isn't completed but when I hit stop it will give me
one line highlight in green, (3 attachment max so I cannot attach any more pic)

>* HPFS - NTFS 16 113 34 267365 202 37 4294967296
I used the right key to change the * to L because I think L is for storage without the operating system.

The next screen has 2 lines (partition?)

1 E extended LBA 16 81 2 267365 202 37 4294969344
5 L HPFS - NTFS 16 113 34 267365 202 37 4294967296

I chose [Write] and quit the program and reset the comp but nothing happen. Did I miss anything? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

when the quick search is completed, took hours to finish. I have the following:
quick search complete.PNG
quick search complete.PNG (47.61 KiB) Viewed 3051 times
and then I have
6 - 2 partition.PNG
6 - 2 partition.PNG (55.71 KiB) Viewed 3051 times
and
6 - 2 partitionb.PNG
6 - 2 partitionb.PNG (55.48 KiB) Viewed 3051 times
the default is to delete both partition? cuz it has a d beside it. However, wouldn't I end up with nothing if both is deleted? if I put L for both it will say bad . Any help is appreciated.

#3 Post by woodeasy »

good thing there isnt any reply yet. The update is I went into [advance] - >[boot] - [rebuild bs] and it fixed part of the drive and I can browse the drive.
The bad thing is the recovered drive is only 2tb, but my original was 3tb. I realized all the recent edited files are 0kb (no size) while one or two folder missing.

Before I fixed the boot sector, the computer showed the drive with 2tb already (and it asked for format but I didnt), how can I fix the problem? It looks like the computer only recongize 2tb as the maxmium size and just chop off the 1tb as there is no space. Please help. Thanks.

How about if I select the drive instead of the disk as follow:

and for partition table type, the default is [None], so I didnt choose [Intel]

[Advanced]-> [Boot]

Should I choose [Org. BS] at this point? Thanks.

The 746.39gb looks like didn't get append or recognize together with the 2tb. And there was only one partition before, not two.
Can anyone please help?

Should I choose [Org. BS] at this point? Thanks.
No, a bad backup of the boot sector often indicates some problems with the file system too.
Also I'm not sure did you run a boot sector diagnose on your right partition.
In your current partition table the partition ends at cylinder 267365.
It's exactly the Intel MBR limit at 2.2 TB.
You can watch it here, at the bottom of your display:
http://forum.cgsecurity.org/phpBB3/down ... hp?id=3239
That's why I don't recommend to modify your file system running OrgBS.
Intel MBR supports only disks and partition up to 2.2 TB.
The second partition on this testdisk display uses almost the whole space till the end of your disk.
http://forum.cgsecurity.org/phpBB3/down ... hp?id=3239
Did you select this partition and did you press p to have a try to list your files?
The size of the first partition is much smaller, maybe around 2 TB and overlaps your second partition.
That's why it would only be possible to recover 1 partition.
How many partitions did you have on your disk?
Can you copy and paste the content of your testdisk.log into your next post?
You'll find it within your testdisk folder.

I now figured the type is MBR and not GPT so it didn't get recongize together? There is only one partition. Before I accidentally deleted the partition, it was D:\ and it has 3000gb. Is there a way to just convert to GPT and let computer automatically recongize it?

Your log file is unfortunately overridden and only contains info using the menu Advanced.
Converting a disk to GPT requires that you have to delete all current partitions.
I suppose that they're wrong anyway.
But on a GPT disks, testdisk scans each sector and it's very time consuming.
I'd suggest to run another Deeper Search finding your partition mentionned above in my last post and have another try to list your files.
Would be much faster.
At least, it would give you an opportunity to copy your files.
If it wouldn't be successful, disk can be converted to GPT and you can run another diagnose on GPT.
Info will follow.

I tried to dig up the partition, both of them contained the same information. Even if I try to back them up, the file is corrupted, and none of them can be open. This is like a biscuit broken into two pieces. It cannot be read. Can you please teach me how to convert to GPT? Thanks.

I did not get any reply regarding how to convert to GPT from MBR so I basically deleted the partition and used another program to convert the disk to GPT and ran Test Disk. Here is the log file:
